From our friends on the other website. I can’t pick my favorite part of this image: Is it the belief that Russia is both not a superpower but also has complete control over Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, North Korea, and half of America? Or is it this person’s honest belief that the Palestine-Israel conflict began last year and shit was peaches and cream up until then?
I don’t think Russian leadership ever claimed that they would take Kiev in a week’s time, where does this claim come from?
Western press. Russia made no claims whatsoever regarding Kiev.
westerners make up claims about you then consider it a victory when you don’t do the exact thing they claimed you were going to do
You losers couldn’t take a staw man down to save your lives.
That was the narrative when, in the first week there was an attack from Belarus directly south that stopped in the outskirts of Kyiv suburbs. The troops were pulled back after a few days and redeployed to the Donbass front line. Russia claimed that it was a feint, while the West claimed that Russia were so inept and overconfident that they thought they could take Kyiv in a day.
Lukashenko said it, it could have been bluster, it could have been serious, the initial Russian push suggested it was serious but they pretty quickly abandoned it in favor of the attritional fight we have.
Projection. That’s how NATO fights wars. Since that’s most every war libs have ever seen, that’s all they know
The west likes to put their words in other’s mouth and develop their ideas from there. As we can see US’s diplomatic efforts has done wonders
US general Miley scaremongered US politicians few days before Russian intervention. So the claims Putin said or expected it are projection as always.
